    Question about prop nut tabs

    Back in May, after my splash, my buddy noticed that the prop nut on my 150HP Merc XR6 only had 3 of the prop nut tabs pushed down. The other 3 were up. The engine is a '92 and the prior owner had it for 11 years, so I'm guessing all is okay as is. I'd post pix, but that function isn't working...

    New phone

    My wife made a 150 mile round-trip this week through country roads and left her phone (Samsung s24 Ultra) on the dash, plugged in and navigating. After awhile, it overheated and went black. Once it cooled off, it restarted okay. Had to educate her about phones on dashes. :sneaky: In the...

    New phone

    When i bought my Galaxy S24 Ultra last year, all of my ringtone automatically transferred over. My wife got the same phone, but she was coming from a different provider, so hers defaulted to basic. I have the 1980s landline ringtone for callers not on my contact list. It's obnoxious and...

    Nobody fishing?

    2 days ago I took my neighbor to our fishing hole just to show him around. I cast for about 20 minutes. It was ridiculously hot. But, I hadn't been fishing for three months, so I was glad to go. And now my right arm, shoulder and wrist are pretty painful. Old guy. 😏

    simpli safe

    Whatever you install, make sure that it has virtually instant access to what the cameras are seeing or what the alarms are sounding about. It's important. I bought some cheap security cameras and they work fine, but they're slow to link to the Wi-Fi when alarming. Day before yesterday, a...

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    Got the console paint job finished. Sprayed the last coat of blue on the console this morning. Worked nicely. And I bought some aluminum metallic for the inserts and they look great after being painted. The picture doesn't do them justice. The color really matches well with the gauges. I'm...

    I just went out to the garage and mocked it up. I think the white is a bit too stark, so I'll look around for an off-white or cream color.

    :LOL: The console was originally beige and the inserts were black. I mocked the black inserts into the blue console and it was just too dark. I wanted to brighten things up a bit.

    Well, the raindrops just evaporated and left no trace, so all good there! I need to spray another coat of each color tomorrow morning, but so far, so good. :cool:

    It rained on my fresh, wet paint!

    Hi guys. I'm back home now. I was on the 3rd coat of Krylon Fusion All-in-One spray can paint on the plastic console on my boat. Got it done and went in the house. I had it hanging from my rear garage door. Bright blue skies, no clouds, about 85 degrees. Went in the house for breakfast...
